Chapter 291: The Legendary Clock of 0 Flowers Withering 0
"Urgent mission, the identification of an antique, the mission rewards one hundred gold coins." One hundred gold coins not only indicates the value of the entrusting task, but also shows that the value of the antique itself or the things involved is very high.
It must be tricky for Jasmine to come to school in broad daylight to find out about her past before it was night, but since she can mess around with the singer for so long and still listen to the corner outside the door for a long time, she doesn't seem to be in a hurry.
"Which nobleman's entrustment? Why did you come to you directly? Wouldn't it be better to find a professional appraisal expert for this kind of thing?" Xiaoweier didn't think that the popularity of Master House would be so great, although Master House was not a secret among the aristocrats. , but most people, including most wealthy businessmen, don't know about it.
Being able to take out one hundred gold coins is just to appraise an antique, and he also found Wanshiwu, which shows that there must be something wrong with it.
Sister Jasmine waved her head in frustration, "Which antique could it be? The famous death clock in Draek City, Dai Lin's relic, the clock with the flowers withering."
The clock is a timekeeping tool invented by the devout believers of the God of Craftsman. It is said that it came from the Wizard Islands, but there is no magic finishing. The clocks in the Gods Continent are all large. There is no clock less than one foot.
The only clock in Drake City that claims to be the most beautiful and exquisite is the Bell of Withered Flowers. No one knows where this clock came from, only that its first owner was Miss Dailin, a famous courtesan in Drake City. The underground lover of the Minister of Commerce of the City Hall.
After getting this clock, Dai Lin was very obsessed with it. It is said that it was a birthday present from the Minister of Commerce. Originally, this clock was called a clock with flowers in full bloom. It was covered with beautiful flower patterns, representing the flower Dai Lin. The meaning of never dying.
Although time is passing, the carved flowers will always retain their beautiful appearance.
Although the implication is very good, people will still age slowly. While Dai Lin is obsessed with clocks and clocks in full bloom, she hopes to be young forever. She tried her best to keep her appearance at the age of eighteen, and even asked for Through the Kendall family, he bought a batch of potions for maintaining his appearance.
It has to be said that the former Minister of Commerce has all eyes and hands. Although he is only a powerful person on the bright side, he can still find the strong ones from the dark forces. He bought youth potion for his lover through the former Viscount Kendall. Stay young for three years.
However, the potion seems to be a little effective for ordinary people. Dai Lin actually turned from a charming young woman into a beautiful girl. She seemed to return to sixteen overnight, instead of twenty as she had expected. age or eighteen. The Minister of Commerce was also very surprised, as if he had returned to the beautiful girl he saw for the first time more than ten years ago. She was so pure and beautiful that he fell in love with her at first sight.
Dai Lin's youth didn't last that long, the potion passed quickly on ordinary people, and after three months she turned into her original appearance, a 30-year-old charming and beautiful woman.
But after experiencing the benefits of the body of a young and beautiful girl with unlimited vitality before, how could Dai Lin accept such a big gap, so she violated the instructions of the wizard of the Kendall family and continued to take the potion of youth to exchange her health for her youth, but This time the medicine was only effective for two months, and then the third time was one month.
In the end, Dai Lin took three bottles of youth potion at one time. She thought it was because of insufficient dose that she could maintain her youth for too short a time. The six-year-old appearance fell into a deep sleep on that luxurious big bed, tightly holding the exquisite clock in full bloom in his arms.
Dai Lin's death had a great impact on the Minister of Commerce, and also affected the Kendall family a little bit.
However, the former Viscount Kendall quickly calmed down the matter. After the sad Minister of Commerce buried Dai Lin, he changed hands and gave the Blooming Flowers Clock to his new lover.
The new lover is a young and beautiful girl, a real sixteen-year-old girl. She enjoys the treatment of Dai Lin before she was alive. She wears her beautiful dress, lives in her mansion, wears her jewelry, and looks at Dai Lin every day. Hundred flowers bloom and clocks live a happy life.
But a very strange thing happened. Three months later, the girl turned into a 30-year-old woman, just like Dai Lin back then, and the bell of the flowers in full bloom also changed slightly, and the flowers were gradually withering . You must know that this is an antique clock with a hundred flowers on it, but at this moment there is a trace of discordant decay.
The beautiful girl panicked, and the Minister of Commerce found the former Viscount Kendall again to buy a batch of youth potions, but this batch of youth potions could only restore youth in a short time. Three months later, the beautiful girl took a large amount of potions, to His sixteen-year-old appearance died on the bed, holding the bell in full bloom in his arms, the flowers on it were still delicate and beautiful, just like the smiling young girl on the bed.
The third lover of the Minister of Commerce repeated this process, which made him doubt the potions of the Kendall family, but he quietly found someone to test these potions, and found that they were indeed easy to use. Before three years passed, His appearance hasn't changed much, and it's completely different from his three lovers.
So he set his sights on the mansion where he raised his lover, and he found the pastor of the church to perform a thorough purification, but the pastor of the church did not find any abnormalities.
Then the Minister of Commerce began to have nightmares, dreaming that all three lovers came to him and asked him for the beautiful clock. At this time, the Minister of Commerce vaguely felt that something was weird, and sent the antique clock to the church for appraisal and purification. The conclusion is that there is no abnormality. But the Minister of Commerce found that after the clock was left vacant for a period of time, the flowers gradually withered. You must know that this is a work of art, not a real flower.
The Minister of Commerce was frightened, and he sold this antique clock to a foreign businessman at a relatively low price. However, three months later, he found that he was getting old rapidly. Certainly not the devil or the means of the devil.
Half a year later, the Minister of Commerce turned into a gray-haired old man. He mobilized his own connections to retrieve the antique clock and found that the flowers on it had almost withered. Neither worked.
The Minister of Commerce died on the big bed where the three lovers were sent away, holding the antique clock in his arms. It was no longer the clock of blooming flowers, but the clock of dying flowers. This incident caused quite a stir in Drake City, but after twenty years passed, there was no further follow-up, so it was gradually forgotten by people.
This incident is recorded in the Memorabilia of the Master House, but there are probably records of the unresolved extraordinary events in the Van der Lake City, the Master House probably has records. Smallville has also seen this event rarely, and once wanted to go and take a look at the antique. Clocks and watches, but the family of the former Minister of Commerce is also a big family, a super rich businessman, although he is not an aristocrat, he is not something he can handle casually.
"What? The devil's clock started to turn again?" Xiaoweier remembered the record in the house of masters, when the master passed away, the clock of withered flowers stopped turning.
Smallville once guessed that the clock is definitely not an ordinary thing, and the consumption of its rotation is nothing else, it is precisely the time of the owner, that is, the life span of others.
"That's right, the grandson of the former minister, in order to please his lover, found this weird but exquisite clock in the dusty warehouse opposite, and secretly sent it out without his father's consent. Then, her lover... ..." Jasmine couldn't help but pause when she said this, but Xiaowei's expression was slightly subtle.
"Are you looking like you're thirty years old or are you still getting old?" Xiaowei's guess is well-founded, and Sister Jasmine nodded slightly and said, "Thirty years old, a young and beautiful girl of seventeen or eighteen years old is only one month old. Time has turned into a thirty-year-old woman, just like the sixteen-year-old beautiful girl back then."
